The problem
One (1) tank trailer, vin number 1pm53432021025056, equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control unit (ecu), the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
The risk
If the power switch shorts it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
The fix
Bendix will replace the ec-30t ecu with another unit. The owner should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793.
